Our O line has been missing maulers and mean SOB's for many years. Need more guys with that I'm gonna hurt you mentality. Love to see guys like Gates, Farmer, Foster, Raridon, Farniok, Wilson..etc..bring that back to the pipeline.
Glad Ritchie is doing well but let's not confuse game time intensity with just being a jerk. Our best O linemen were great guys off the field and in the locker room...Shields, Stai, Rimmington, Hochstein, Wiegert, etc etc etc.
He did go over the top but considering some of the bashing of young men that happens on this board it isn't all that surprising that a parent would get angry and try to respond. Unfortunately all it did was make matters worse. I can guarantee you that some of the stuff that was said on the board would never be said to him face to face. On the flip side, he would have gladly repeated his lines to anybody face to face.
Hell it's painful enough just listening to some of the idiots call in to the post game radio shows sometimes. At least those calls are screened and people still can't help but say stupid things about players.
Some of us have a 3 hour plus drive home after the game and with the rest of the car sleeping the post game call in shows at least keep you either angry or happy enough to stay awake..
